Well, maybe our car is out of train purgatory. Got an email today to complete the purchase and the status is now "Final Preparation". Hopefully by this weekend maybe? @PicoR hopefully yours is on the move too!

When I got that yesterday, the truck had just pulled onto the lot. My sales guy didn't even know it was there yet. But it was!!!

That is so weird since you are way closer than me.

Dealer told me yesterday that the trucks won't usually load unless they have multiple vehicles for the same dealership. Maybe that's what they're waiting for.

Here's hoping next week....

Well they just updated the delivery timeframe with no LAST UPDATED change. So much for the original 5/08/2023 to 5/18/2023 estimate.

I guess I'll call the dealer tomorrow. :-(

That is so weird. I think yours and ours were likely on the same train and yet mine is at the dealer and yours isn’t even though I’m 150 miles away.

You have my sympathy though—it has been a long wait and then to just have them sit around at a rail yard is annoying.

I haven't had an update since 5/4, so a delivery date change with no last updated date on the page worries me now. ?

got an email this morning to "complete your MME purchase" and tracking page claims the vehicle is in final preparation. Guess that means it's just about time? besides finalizing the deal and going through the checklist of items to review before rolling off the lot, any other advice?

I got that email just before my sales guy knew it was on the lot. I think the email probably generated when the truck let his people know he had arrived. Call your dealer though - sounded like mine would typically take a day or two to do all of the prep with all of the cars that arrived. They were able to hustle me (and another guy picking up a truck) to the front of the line.

Check Out the new forum thread:
Ford has all deliveries on hold. Anyone know why?

 

[nick493]

My car has been at ramp 6M Argentine, KS since 4/21, it shipped 4/8. Still shows estimated delivery as 5/12-5/25 but I don’t see that happening.

UPDATE: Dealer just forgot to remove the shipping chocks from the springs--same issue as noted here: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/suspension-chocks-left-in.8572/

I took it back and once they did that, no more squeaks, clunks, etc.

Took delivery today. Unfortunately there seems to be an issue whereby if I turn sharply to the right I get this awful clunking sound and there’s odd squeaks from the dashboard as well when making sharp turns. Also wind noise from the drivers window and phone as a key simply refuses to setup. Sigh. Nine months waiting and this kind of money and I am very disappointed. Back to the dealer tomorrow.

Oh no! What trim did you get?

Premium AWD Extended Range

Oh God that's the same trim I have ?. Very sorry for your issues. Make sure there aren't any shipping protection pieces still on the car. I read in an old thread that a dealer had forgot to remove padding of some sort that was used to protect the shocks during transit. Caused the owner similar issues.
